Hello there inky friends! Today I'm joining my fellow Heartfelt Creations Alumni Teamies as we share a fun treat for you this month! If you've arrived here from Candy's blog, you're on the right track. If not, that's ok. I've included the complete blog roll at the bottom of my post. The Hearfelt Creations Black Friday sale has begun and Oh My Goodness, the new Elegant Gateway Collection! The Gatefold cards you can create with this collection are out of this world!
I decided to go all Heartfelt and use their traditional pretty color palette. I then stamped and colored some poinsettias from the Christmas Poinsettia and Holly Cling Set (Used the dies and the Shaping Mold too) to make my tri-fold card into a gorgeous Family Christmas Album. It's the perfect gift for a family treasure!
These three colors were the perfect mix for this card. I just LOVE how they colored...After assembling three layers, adding some microfine glitter over them took them to the next level!
I tucked a few bits of gold ribbon, torn book papers and other ribbons to make this album front so fancy. Sparkles were the key! HEE HEE!Take a peek as I give you an all-around tour of this project. It's READY for some beautiful black and white Christmas photos!
This is the view as you open it from the front.
This is the reverse as the tri-fold is opened...As the album is closed, this is the view you see from the front. OOOHHH...Love the fancy florals!
As the album is closed, this is the view you will see on the back!
Thanks for hopping over to check out my album. Please hop on over to Magdalena's blog to see her inspiring work!
